The workshop was a birthday gift from my children. What a lovely way to spend a Sunday - learning a new skill, creating something beautiful and meeting new people.

It was a small class withNaoum is an amazing instructor, fun, friendly and easygoing. He made sure everyone had enough support and guidance and was running around to the whole time to help each person. It was a small class with only 3 people, yet the amount of work and preparation he did to make everyone comfortable was above and beyond. From being able to customise every element of the belt (buckle, colour of leather, width of belt, how you want it to look like with the stitching, any initials or script you’d like on the belt), teaching us about how leather is made, answering our questions, to making sure we’re well fed with loads of drinks and snacks. It was such a pleasant experience and a great way to spend your weekend. I went with my boyfriend as his late birthday gift and both of us really enjoyed our time there, especially when you walk away with your own creation! Highly highly recommend to everyone, you’ll definitely feel empowered to start doing your own leather craft! + more

Our teacher, Robyn, was friendly, patient and encouraging, and made it easy to relax evenWe booked the pottery throwing class as a wedding anniversary gift for each other, and it was a brilliant choice. Our teacher, Robyn, was friendly, patient and encouraging, and made it easy to relax even as beginners. She explained each step clearly and stepped in to help when our clay didn't quite do as we wanted! What we liked most was getting properly hands-on and doing something creative together, away from phones and everyday life. We laughed so much, definitly had a a bit of friendly competition over whose pot looked best, and we left with something to remember the day by. We were surprised at how relaxing and thereputic it was!. I’d happily recommend it as a gift or a date idea, whether you’re a complete beginner or just fancy trying something different. + more

Everyone wasDid this rug tufting class yesterday with my mother and we had an amazing time! Neema was so lovely, helpful and kind- encouraging us along the way and giving us freedom to explore and play. Everyone was so complimentary, helpful and responsive leading up to the class when I made designs that were too complicated to tuft. It was such a brilliant experience, we had so much fun making these rugs- I had bought the class as a Mother’s Day gift and it was a wonderful time. It felt so special to be the only ones in the class so we got all the attention we needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this class and will definitely be coming again! + more

It was my first time trying this type of workshop, and it was such a creative experience! It’s also a great idea for making a personalised gift for someone.

Why experience vouchers make the best gift ideas for Christmas
Christmas comes but once a year – and as the last special occasion on the yearly calendar, you’ve probably already used all of your great gift ideas for birthday presents, Father’s Day celebrations, Mother’s Day gifts and anniversary treats. Sound familiar? If you’re struggling for Christmas present ideas that you know will put a smile on your loved one’s face, don’t panic – our range of experience gifts make a great alternative to the usual sad socks, tired ties and mundane mugs!
Our Manchester Christmas gift experiences are perfect for showing your recipients how much you care, and we don’t just have treats for Mum and Dad – our experience vouchers make the perfect gift idea for couples, pals and partners too. So if you’re looking for a surprise for your dashing date or marvelous mate, why not treat them to a fun experience gift, or sign both of you up and head off to a craft class or cooking workshop together? You’ll be able to make some marvelous memories and celebrate the festive season by learning how to cook some tasty treats, getting involved in some Christmas crafts or mastering the art of mixology. And as our fabulous activities in Manchester are designed for the complete beginner and led by expert teachers, you won’t need any prior experience to master macrame, whip up a Christmas wreath or bake the perfect loaf of sourdough bread!
